17 SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
18 in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 34.602 of Title 62, unless there
19 is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
20 A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a fund to be

22 Legacy Fund”. The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to
23 fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of surplus monies and
24 savings appropriated by the Legislature.
Req. No. 2569 Page 1
1 B. The Treasurer shall appoint qualified investment managers to
2 provide for the investment of the monies of the fund. The
3 investments shall be consistent with the manner in which state
4 retirement funds are invested. The risk of large losses shall be
5 minimized by diversifying the investments in the fund, unless, under
6 the circumstances, it is clearly prudent not to do so, which shall
7 include the length of time of the investment. The investment
8 managers may sell investments and realize losses if such action is
9 considered advantageous to longer-term return maximization.
10 C. The fund principal shall consist of monies which are
11 deposited to the fund. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law,
12 income and investment return on fund principal shall accrue to the
13 fund.
14 D. For each fiscal year, the Treasurer shall make available a
15 report on its website detailing the present value of the investments
16 and assets in the Oklahoma Long-Range Capital Planning Legacy Fund
17 and the increase in value from the previous fiscal year.
18 E. Except as provided for in subsection F and G of this
19 section, upon a determination by the Treasurer, through the report
20 provided pursuant to subsection D of this section, of the increase
21 in the value of the Oklahoma Long-Range Capital Planning Legacy
22 Fund, the Long-Range Capital Planning Commission may make a request
23 for transfer of up to forty percent (40%) of the increase in value
24 of the fund, as determined by the Treasurer, to the Maintenance of
Req. No. 2569 Page 2
1 State Buildings Revolving Fund, created in Section 908 of Title 62
2 of the Oklahoma Statutes. For fiscal year 2025, the Long-Range
3 Capital Planning Commission may request an amount not to exceed
4 Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) for transfer to the
5 Maintenance of State Buildings Revolving Fund.
6 F. Investment managers appointed pursuant to subsection B of
7 this section shall maintain a reasonable proportion of liquid assets
8 in the Oklahoma Long-Range Capital Planning Legacy Fund in order to
9 facilitate any expected transfers requested pursuant to subsection E
10 of this section. In the event the balance of the Oklahoma Long-
11 Range Capital Planning Legacy Fund is insufficient or the cash
12 available in the fund is insufficient due to lack of liquid assets
13 to make the transfers required pursuant to subsection E of this
14 section, the entire balance available for transfer shall be
15 transferred to the fund.
16 SECTION 2. There is hereby appropriated to the Office of the
17 State Treasurer for deposit in the Oklahoma Long-Range Capital
18 Planning Legacy Fund, from any monies not otherwise appropriated
19 from the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury for the fiscal
20 year ending June 30, 2023, the sum of Five Hundred Million Dollars
21 ($500,000,000.00).
22 SECTION 3. This act shall become effective July 1, 2024.
23 SECTION 4. It being immediately necessary for the preservation
24 of the public peace, health or safety, an emergency is hereby
Req. No. 2569 Page 3
1 declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and
2 be in full force from and after its passage and approval.
